9. At the beginning of 2003 the club changed its name from Longwell
Green Sports FC to Longwell Green Sports, joining forces with the
Longwell Green Juniors and forming a senior & junior Netball team to
create a broader community sports club. Longwell Green has always
had a commitment to developing young players and benefit from a
tremendous spirit amongst its teams and club members.
Longwell Green Sports FC
Longwell Green Sports were originally formed in June 1966 from the workforce of the areas main
employer, Longwell Green Coachworks, following the great upsurge of interest in football after
England’s World Cup success.
In its early years Longwell Green played in what was the Saturday Regional League and by the
early seventies progressed to the District League. In 1982 the club became District League
Division 4 Champions losing only three games all season. In 1983 the club gained promotion to
District Division 2 winning promotion five times in nine seasons reaching the Bristol Premier
Division in 1997.
The following season the club finished third and lifted the Premier Cup. At the end of the
2003/2004 season the club gained promotion to the Gloucestershire County League and were
promoted to the Western League for the 2018/19 season.
History of the Clubs
Cheddar FC
Cheddar Football Club was established in 1892, playing at the local cricket ground near the then
Cheddar railway station on the Strawberry Line. The Cheddar Valley League, of which the
Cheesemen were one of the founders, was formed in the 1900’s. A couple of years after winning
the league in 1911, the club joined the Western & District League and moved to a new ground
where the Kings of Wessex Academy playing fields are now situated.
A historic £1500 investment in 1952 allowed the club to relocate to the current ground, Bowdens
Park, after re-joining the Cheddar Valley League shortly after the Second World War.
The ‘shack’, as it was affectionately known opened in 1981 as a licensed facility providing the
foundation for future Somerset County League success, and was converted into the current
clubhouse in 1987.
To coincide with the centenary year in 1992, the club built new
changing rooms and installed flood lights, allowing evening matches to
be hosted.
Cheddar FC then advanced to Somerset County League Premier
Division in 2004 and in 2011 achieved promotion to the Western
League Division 1 for the first time in its history, finishing in third place
in 2016/17, fourth place in 2017/18 and second place in 2018/19, just
missing out on promotion to the Western League Premier Division.
